As a young child, I was diagnosed with a 95 percentile reasoning ability and a 95 percentile linguistic ability. Those are my strong points. However, I find it IMPOSSIBLE to do math. It is simply above me. Linguistically, however, I am far beyond my age group, and many adults as well. Still, I thought that Indigos were supposed to be average to superior in ALL categories. Am I stupid as far as Indigos are concerned?

No, no, no!!! Don't be silly... it's a terrible misconception that indigos are always intelligently superior.
Being indigo isn't about being superior at all, it's the exact opposite! It's about being aware... many indigos have difficulty with math because it asks for exact, specific answers without any room for arguement. 2 + 2 always equals 4... but they do quite well when they get into the theory, usually.
But it's individual, not predetermined. High intelligence does not make a person indigo... it's about knowing that you can change something here on earth. ANYONE can be indigo if they just realize that... it's not determined by genetics or brain power or even the current vibration of a person. It is intent that makes an indigo...

*Sighs*. I know that. I just had a minor breakdown because now I have to go to summerschool for math. As if I don't have to deal with school enugh during the year, but now I'm giving up my vacation, too!
I only believed that because it was said in 'Indigo Chikdren, the new kids have arrived', but I should have realized that it doesn't always have the correct answers. Thank you for helping me see this. I'm okay now.

Exactly. ^_^ Many of the original scout-indigos (like Einstein) were equipped for very specific jobs... he didn't need to be all that great at langauge because his purpose had everything to do with Math/Physics... amazing.

Heh. I used to not really bother with school. Though since I've gotten into highschool, I've been actually trying and I find myself above average in everything. Ah, we're all different in ways.
*hugs Einstein* Mathmatical people have never been my type (*hates math*), but he was a great person ^_____^

Yeah, my entire life I've been brilliant with linguistics myself, or more specifically, writing. I finished my first novel when I was 12 and even people who read it today gush about how they can actually experience the characters' emotions, crying and laughing with them, etc. This is probably because I cry and laugh with the characters as I write about them! lmao. But yeah, I know what you mean about math being tough, I just got a D in my first college math class and I was horrified! Still haven't told the Dad about it....
So yeah, I'm indigo shifting to crystal and I don't get math very well either, so don't feel dumb! Intelligence is more than just being good at studying and bookwork. ^^ My brother gets straight A's in almost all his classes, but I can't stand to be around him very long because spiritually he's such an idiot.

The thing about it is, we're all unique...we're really not going to have the same strengths or weaknesses.
...which is another reason that labelling should be on its way out...the labels kind of give way to that...and then as you start believing it, you limit yourself...

We're all given different gifts.. let's be honest we're not that different from 'normal' kids in that respect. Strenghts and weaknesses.. that's a human trait.. it's just the way it is.. The intelligence factor isn't what makes us indigo. If it was than Bill Gates, etc would be among the club.. and somehow I don't think they are...lol

Any kind of math has always been my weakness. I just cannot make sense of anything but the simplest kind of problems. This brought me a lot of frustration when I was in high school, I often felt as though I was stupid or something, that since I couldn't excel at everything I was given in school I must be defective. But I've since realized that I'm much more of a right brained person, that what I lack in maths and sciences I make up for in readings and writings and arts. And there's nothing wrong with that. We're all different for a reason. Everyone can't know everything, where's the fun in that?

I think Shaelyn brings up a good point ^^ I like to think we're all different because we're all here for different reasons. Like what indi and others are saying too. Since we all have a different purpose and reason why we're here, then it would seem crazy if we were not different!

I think everyone can learn math ^^ Just the way the teacher does it is important.
Up until I was around 12 I struggled loads with it. Started going to a private tutor, who is really funny and teaches it really well, and I just started improving ten fold.
Most important thing I remember him telling me (time and again) is that if you get confused when you do it its a good thing.
No knowledge - > Confusion, where you don't understand but being told it in a sensical manner and practising - > Knowledge.
Practice seems to be the same for everything though I find. Whether its painting, reading, logical or abstract.
(Its also good that same tutor is now my college teacher. Last year I didn't have him as my teacher and started slipping)

It has been said that there is no such thing as a learning disability, but there is such a thing as a teaching disability. Anyone can learn anything, it is how it is taught that is what matters.

No truer words Kiva ^^ I recall being in school, someone didn't understand what we were doing in class so I tried to help..
Have you ever heard me try to explain somethiing in words you only hear once? It's impossible ^^;

I saw this and absolutely had to comment. Sue me.
I am, was and probably always will be mathamatically challenged. I remember coming home from school with an A on my English test, but an F on my Math test. It's not because I didn't try, I tried my damndest, but My brain doesn't think in that way; Math is too numerical for my brain to comprehend. That, and I overthink everything. I make the little problems into something huge that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I can come to an answer, but it makes sense to nobody but myself and it is never the correct answer. Once, I said something along the line of 'But, why can't my question be right too?' and I think my teacher said 'Because there is only one right answer, not two, and yours is wrong.'
I drew a really mean picture of my teacher that night. Haha.
But, I am, as many of you, gifted in linguistics. I can pick foreign languges up prety quickly, write 'beyond my years', have a somewhat advanced philosophy about life and have always been a better reader than many of my classmates. Well, not better, but you get what I mean. I think. I hope. Maybe?

I might be the only one here who likes math! Gemma can tell you what I'm like learning foreign languages. I couldn't pass english in a class for 15 year olds to save myself though - and I'm 22 now!

I have always been very good at maths. It annoys my other half no end when I can calculate figures easily in my head that she would take 10 minutes on paper doing.
I'm very logical about a lot of things which I think is why I do well with the maths and sciences. Although I suck at time! I'm often running late or lose track of what time it is, but this helps me astrally as I have never had the issue of "they are too far away" to do something... very handy for travel and energy work.
I'm really bad at creative writing, but that is more to do with my upbringing rather than skills, I just find it difficult to write what I am feeling and thinking due to it often being read aloud and ridiculed when I was a child. I was also told that being emotional was a bad thing, so I guess that doesn't help.
I seem to be good at knowing what people want to say. If I am speaking to someone who doesn't speak english natively, I seem to know what they are trying to say even if they get it wrong and I often find myself anticipating what someone is about to say before they actually say it and when online, can get someone's mood just by them saying hello to me.

Hey guys. Haven't wrote anything in a while. Been too busy enjoying the pleasures of being away from my parents and that will stop in about 4 weeks . I wanted to write something more for myself than to speek to any of you, so here goes. My misuse of my brain is my real weakness. I think everything I do has to be thought out and put into action, even the technical stuff that most people are unaware of happening. The mind is a tool for a purpose. Not a tool for a tool. That reaches into the infinate. I need to do what I KNOW rather than what I'm thinking. I've come to realize that I am all love and am secretely in love with myself so that I cannot be moved. I share love with as many people as I can. They unknowingly use they're subconscious to be active in daily life. I can see into they're bodies and give them what they desire. This is love. To be filled with nothingness so that you are free of desire is the greatest gift. It is the end of suffering. Many people are different in their ways. I don't know if there are a set number of awarenesses, I might make a chart of all of them one day for convenience. Awareness is energy transfer. What people don't want, I take and give love to. I take it into my body. I'm being a crafty guy when I figure you out and give you love when you wonder if I will. When this happens, people blush. They return to a state of calmness and peace. I've also learned that love connects everybody, so I'm actually connected to every living thing in the universe because I love them. What I will be doing with the rest of my life is returning people to a state of calmness so we are less chaotic in this world.

Many people here seem to have lingual strengths but mathematical weaknesses, where I am the opposite. I can barely writer a one page story, but have no problem with math.
Sure in math you have to get the same answer, you have to get to B from A, but you don't have to go in a strait line to get there, it usually doesn't matter how you get the answer as long as you get it.
I have always been good at math.. Up until this year that is. My math teacher insists we doing everthing the same way that someone who can't do 1 + 1 = 2 can do it without a problem. All strict and saying if you don't do it this way you will get it wrong. I prove her wrong and show you can do it multiple other ways, so what happens? I get kicked out.

your maths teacher is an idiot. Actually, something similar led to a bit of an argument with one of my maths teachers. I had previously studied advanced math but I'd since gone to a school where everyone of the same age learnt the same math. Anyway, some of the more advanced principles made it a lot quicker to solve a certain type of problem (as well as making a lot of problems possible to solve where they would have been impossible without these principles). Anyway, I used these principles to solve a problem we were given in class and was told off for it. The teacher since apologised and explained that my solution was valid but the purpose of the exercise wasn't to solve the problem but to learn the basic principles. I already knew her way of doing the problem but I hadn't used it.

The only weaknesses are not enough love and meditation on the nature of your DNA template and the Real Self. Because, you're born more sensitive and adaptable, is not a good enough reason to not fufill your personal contracts for being here. It is time to synthesize your Seeds with the Stars.

by synthesizing seeds with stars, does that have something to do with how each time I encounter a different race I end up integrating some of that race's energies into my aura? I first noticed this happening when I met the immanaiy who mostly live on the three moons of salaan in the goughan star system in a galaxy called the small magellanic cloud.

Stars link up with seeds. Their love energy sits inbetween the love energy of the seeds. This allows for emanation of the higher, more finite spiritual energies.
